Hello

[amethystbelle]

Hiya, just joined this place after Bug78 recommended it to me and thought i would say hello to everyone *;)

My names Kirsty and i'm from Nottinghamshire. I'm hoping to be getting at some point in the next year (as cars due for renewal) a new black Beetle Cabriolet probably a 1.6 or if i find one and its at the right price a 1.9 TDI and thought i would join this place to get some inspiration for when i get her *[smiley=laugh.gif]

My partner Adam and I are already aircooled enthusiasts and own a 1966 bug called Edna that we take to the shows. She is off the road at the moment as early next year she is having a respray and new interior fitted as she is looking a little tired round the edges after 40 years of wear and tear.

Here is a pic of her at the Crich beetle Drive.....

Anyway look forward to seeing everyone around the forums *:)

Hello, good evening and welcome :)

That is a very cool Bug 8-)

[Shamrockez]

Hi Kirsty, welcome to Evvo :)

What's going on with the wheels on your 66? Adaptors? Looks beautiful tho 8-) you staying with the red?

My brother lives in Notthingham and my family near Melton Mowbray so I'm in your sorta area quite often.

[amethystbelle]

Thanks both of you *:)

We are indeed staying with the red, we love the colour but it just needs refreshing as whoever resprayed her in the past didn't do the worlds best job *::)

[Vickie]

Wow cool bug!!!

Welcome to Evvo - hope the search for you bug goes ok! A black cab - how 8-) :D

[dubstar]

[amethystbelle]

Thanks both of you *[smiley=laugh.gif] We live on the Notts/Derby border near Mansfield for our sins *;)

[Shamrockez]

Hi
how are you were abouts in nottinghamshire are you? im in grantham



I went to my first primary school in Grantham! It was called Heathlands then but I think it's called something else now?

[Shamrockez]

Thanks both of you *:)

We are indeed staying with the red, we love the colour but it just needs refreshing as whoever resprayed her in the past didn't do the worlds best job *::)

ah good good, red is the best colour ;)


haha sounds like I sprayed her! :-[ ;D

[dubstar]

Heathlands? Dont know that which end of town was it? Where was it near?

[Shamrockez]

Erm... let me think... ok, go past where Halfords etc is towards the A1, before you get to the car dealers you turn right towards Barrowby. It's just down there.

[dubstar]

I think i know where you mean is it only a little school ? Is it up spitlegate level way?
I moved from Melton Mowbray when i was four. 21 years ago now but seems just llike yesterday. ;D

[Shamrockez]

Ah cool, which part of Melton? My parents like 5 miles out.

By powers of google I've foind the school - it's now called Grantham Preparatory http://www.iesedu.com/Grantham/default.asp?car=&arc=index.asp&id=1&t1=home&t2=home&f=

[dubstar]

*In Melton itself all the family used to live there My grandparents used to live in Asfordby. But they came to Grantham and the *rest of the family came too. I still go over every known agen its a nice road from Grantham to Melton, *Melton has changed a lot since i was there ; but its still a dump. *;) [smiley=laugh.gif]

[Shamrockez]

I don't disagree with you there! We avoid Melton if we can help it - hence why we went to school in Grantham, Oakham and Stamford ;D just go into Melton to go to Tescos really.

I live the bit in Croxton when you go over the bumps - weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D ;D the hill on the other side isn't so good for an old Bug tho lol

[dubstar]

Its a small world! The bumps are cool you have to speed up for them or it aint no fun. dont you get a free car wash in croxton from that water thing thats always running next to the road. :D Have you ever been to the Vw club in Grantham "volksair" ?

[Shamrockez]

been to - I started VolksAir along with Dave - does he still go?

I think they've put a bollard infront of the water thing now, haven't they? My Mum used to wash her car under it on the way back from school lol

[dubstar]

Split screen samba dave? or wutang dave ? havent been to the club thing in ages dont think many people go they are always changing the location aswell.

[Shamrockez]

Little Dave with the mad hair ;D I've not been for years - mainly cos I now live in Bristol. The club did start off as a Melton based one but sorta got taken over by the Grantham lot and ended up in Harlaxton.

[dubstar]

Yep wutang with the Big afro.the last time i see him his fro was big! I dont think many go to the club thing anymore.But i havent been for a while. Think everyone kinda lost interest a bit. :'(

[Blue_Smoothie]

[dubstar]

lol ;D its just a small world!

Yeah I saw him at Action and it was huge! :o

Clubs tend to do that - there's a surge of interest, then there's not much for a while, then it comes back again. Same is happening with the 2nd club I started in Taunton. It'll pick up again tho, they always do.

Belated hi there and hello!

[dubchaser]

Seen you all talking about Melton Mowbray in this thread. ;D I was born in Melton. Moved away for a while but back now. Soon to move to Syston area though. Anyway I thought I'd mention a VW club i started in May last year for Melton and the surrounding areas. It's called MADVW. :) It stands for Melton and District VW Club. We welcome all VW's. We meet every first Monday of each month at The Red House in Nether Broughton from 6pm. It would be good to see some of you there should you be interested and have the time. ;)

I've flyered many new beetles about the MADVW club but have had none take interest yet. Melton people can be a little funny though! lol :P

The website is www.madvw.co.uk

I also run a east midlands club:
www.olds-cool-veedubbers.co.uk
They have monthly meetings in adhoc locations.

[Shamrockez]
